PDP Mocks Buhari Over Flopped North Central Rally – Vanguard

…Reports Oshiomhole to Peace Committee Over Hate Speech

The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) says
the scanty attendance at the President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign
rallies is an indication that Nigerians are not ready to return him into
office for a second term.

The PPCO says this accounts for the
flopping of All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Presidential Zonal rally
held in Lokoja, Kogi state, on Wednesday, where President Buhari could
not articulate any clear message, even as he mixed up figures and
statistics.

The PPCO also berates the APC’s factional National
Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, who, out of frustration, took to
name-calling, abuses and hate comments against the PDP Presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and other respected Nigerian leaders,
ostensibly in a failed bid to cover for their failures in office.

It
is instructive for President Buhari to note how poorly Nigerians
responded to his campaign flag-off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, as well as
his zonal rallies, where his rented attendees even refused to wave the
APC brooms and paid no attention to him whenever he mounted the stage to
speak.

At the Lokoja rally, President Buhari spent less than
four minutes in making a vacuous address, issued warning to Nigerians
and had to beat a hurried conclusion when he realized that nobody was
paying attention.

President Buhari however, betrayed his
unsettled emotions when he told his audience that he was sworn into
office on May 19, 2015, instead of May 29, 2015, a pointer to the level
of incompetence with which the nation’s affairs has been handled.

The
PPCO also asks President Buhari to end his playing to the gallery on
the fight against corruption and get serious by prosecuting members of
his Campaign Council, who all have allegations of corruption hanging on
their names.

Berating Oshiomhole, the PPCO says the APC
factional National Chairman is so over-burdened by allegations of
corruption and stealing both as governor of Edo state and APC Chairman,
that he believes that accusing others and casting aspersions at the PDP
will help him.

The PPCO reminded Oshiomhole that he had to flee
the country last year to avoid being arrested by the Directorate of
State Services (DSS) over allegations of corruption and had to return
after allegedly striking a deal with agents of the Buhari Presidency for
protection.

The PDP Presidential Organization therefore calls
on the National Peace Committee to immediately sanction Oshiomhole for
his hate comments on the party and PDP leaders at the Kogi rally.

Finally,
the PPCO urges President Buhari and the APC to note that their smear
campaign is in vain as Nigerians have since made up their minds to rally
with Atiku Abubakar as their next President ahead of the February
Presidential election.
